As the weather changes, it’s time to strengthen your immune system.  Choose nutrient-packed vegetables such as carrots and dark greens that are rich in beta-carotene, kale, which is also loaded with calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K (good for your bones), ginger root, which is one of your best sources of zinc, and lemon that offers lots of vitamin C.  If you work on strengthening your immune system now by drinking fresh juice every day, you stand a much better chance of not getting colds or flu this winter. It’s true.  You can enjoy a winter without getting sick at all.  I have.  And I’ve worked with many people who have also improved their health and have not gotten sick even when everyone around them was sick.

Make sure you have a good juicer that is easy to clean and easy to use.  Then you’ll use it every day.  And here’s a tip to make juicing easy.  Line the pulp catcher with a plastic baggy–then you won’t have to wash it.

Best of health,
